Should scope of prefer-await-to-then rule be limited to functions?

Description

I'm just wondering if the scope of prefer-await-to-then should be limited to functions.

// Valid, case for await, has to be in a function
a = async () => (await something())

// However this is invalid Await apparently can't be in the root
a = await something(); // invalid

// So we have to use `.then`, however it gets caught in the prefer-await-to-then rule
something().then(a => {...})

Expected behavior:

Scope of prefer-await-to-then should be limited to functions

Ah, this case makes sense. I think it'd be good to revisit this rule and add support for what you're expressing. 👍

I'll follow up with issues and PRs today and see what I can ship as a minor or patch release.
